Install

Install via the Omarchy Package Repository via the omawrite package. It's installed by default in new installations of Omarchy (from Quattro forward).

Shortcuts

  • Ctrl+S saves. Unsaved documents use the XDG desktop portal file picker.
  • Ctrl+Shift+S saves as.
  • Ctrl+O opens a Markdown file through the portal picker.
  • Ctrl+P opens the system print dialog.
  • Ctrl+N opens a new Omawrite window.
  • Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+Z, and Ctrl+Y handle undo and redo.
  • Super+F toggles fullscreen. Qt maps this key as Meta+F.
  • Ctrl+F searches the document. Use Enter or Ctrl+G for the next match and Shift+Enter for the previous match.
  • Ctrl+H opens find and replace.
  • Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, and Ctrl+K insert bold, italic, and link Markdown.
  • Ctrl+? shows the keyboard shortcut reference.

Unsaved drafts are recovered after an abnormal exit. Omawrite also watches open files and warns before an external change can replace local work.

Requirements

  • Qt 6: qt6-base, qt6-declarative, qt6-quickcontrols2
  • xdg-desktop-portal and a portal backend
